Using Toolbar Shortcuts

These toolbar shortcuts can be used to perform specific actions for each
Zoom trace.

Opens a Measurement selection pop-up menu. You can then
select a parameter (measurement) for the Zoom trace from
this menu without leaving the Zoom Setup dialog. The
parameter automatically appears below the grid.

Loads the Zoom trace into its corresponding Memory
(Reference Waveform) location (for instance, Z1 is stored
into M1; Z2 is stored into M2, etc.).

Opens a Labeling pop-up menu that allows you to create
labels tied into the waveform.

Measuring with Cursors

Overview

Cursors are important tools that help when measuring signal values.
Cursors can be moved around on the waveform to identify specific voltage
and time values on the waveform. Use cursors to make fast, accurate
measurements and to eliminate guesswork.

The cursor controls contain two dedicated cursor knobs and a Type button.
The Type button turns cursors ON (if they are not already ON), then toggles
between Horizontal (Time) cursors, Vertical (Amplitude) cursors, and OFF.
If an FFT Math trace is ON, a Horizontal (Frequency) selection is added to
the toggle list.

When cursors are ON, they provide measurements for every waveform
displayed. The lone exception is when a Math FFT is ON, which requires a
selection of Horizontal (Frequency) for cursors to be placed on that
waveform. Place cursors on a Zoom waveform by moving the cursors into
the zoom portion of the original channel signal.
